Doll Face

Not that I wear make-up by any means (wink, wink)

But if I did, this is most definitely what I would wear!

This is my fave brand of make-up, all their products are amazing and organic which is kinda a big deal...if you care about that kind of thing, which you should!

Also, they don't test on animals, and we all know only douchebags actually text on animals. So, that's another thing they have going for them! Well check  'em out https://www.zuiiorganic.com/pages/About.html

If you live in the Ottawa area, get yours a Market Organics!
I do!!!

Four Sisters!

Looks like I have Four Sister fever...
and it might be contagious!

Today I checked out these ladies at the Lansdowne famer's market.
(Sundays 8am-3pm)

I always get really excited to meet fellow raw-veganers in Ottawa and to find venues where I can purchase good, healthy eats. I've seen their stuff all over Ottawa in different health food stores: raw hummus at Herb and Spice, raw sushi at Market Organics. But meeting them and seeing how passionate they are about what they make just feels way better. They're real proud of their foods, and they should be because it's all so yummy.

Thanks Ladies!!!

Looks aren't everything...

I went to Market Organics and this is what I picked up! Good stuff all around!

Sure great hair and white teeth are important, but so are making the right choices. What's the point of eating healthy and being careful as to what you put in your body if you plan to smear chemicals and harsh products all over your skin. Make sure to take the time to find the right products for you, so you can feel and look your best.

Also, testing on animals can suck it!

Well, that's all...

Enjoy!
